    und dass das Antriebssignalausgabemittel (3) ausgestaltet ist, das normale Steuerungssignal (a) auszugeben, das ein Durchführen der normalen Steuerung für andere Plattenzylinder (P, FP) als den späteren betriebsbereiten Plattenzylinder (RP) basierend auf der Anweisung des Druckvorganges anzeigt, und das besondere Steuersignal (b) auszugeben, das ein Durchführen der besonderen Steuerung für den späteren betriebsbereiten Plattenzylinder (RP) anzeigt, wenn die Zählung der tatsächlichen Ausdrucke, die bei dem Verwaltungsmittel (4) der Zählung der Drucke geprüft worden sind, einen Wert erreichen, der erhalten wird, indem eine Summe des berechneten Wertes und eine voreingestellte Konstante aus der Zählung der Drucke vor der Veränderung des Betriebszustandes der Plattenzylinder (P, FP, RP), die von dem Eingabebedienungsfeldmittel (2) gesetzt worden sind, subskribiert werden, und das normale Steuersignal auszugeben (a), das ein Durchführen der normalen Steuerung für den späteren betriebsbereiten Plattenzylinder (RP) anzeigt, wenn der spätere betriebsbereite Plattenzylinder (RP) eine Drehgeschwindigkeit aufweist, die mit der des anderen Plattenzylinders (P, FP) abgestimmt ist, der normal gesteuert wird, nachdem der spätere betriebsbereite Plattenzylinder (RP) für die voreingestellte Zeitdauer besonders gesteuert worden ist, und
    dass das Antriebssignalausgabemittel (3) ausgestaltet ist, dem Schaltmittel (15) das Schaltsignal (f) bereit zu stellen, wenn der spätere Plattenzylinder (RP) eine Drehphase aufweist, die mit der Bezugsdrehphase unter der normalen Steuerung abgestimmt ist, und die tatsächliche Zählung der Drucke, die von dem Verwaltungsmittel (4) der Zählung der Drucke geprüft worden sind, die Zählung der Drucke vor der Veränderung des Betriebszustandes der Plattenzylinder erreicht, die von dem Eingabebedienungsfeldmittel (2) gesetzt worden ist.
